How To Use the Equilibrium Constant Kc

Chemistry Made Simple ·

2021/03/30

In this episode we consider how to quantify the position of equilibrium using the equilibrium constant Kc.We also talk through which changes of conditions cause a change in Kc value, and which don't. This will be something that will come up in your exams!You can read the article How to Use the Equilibrium Constant Kc-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Want to know more, or support the show?

Read the article What is Quantum Mechanics and How Does it Affect the Atomic Model?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Quantum mechanics is one of those phrases that makes many a chemistry student lose sleep. Because quantum mechanics, or quantum theory, is our attempt to describe the counter-intuitive behaviour of tiny particles.In this episode, we use two analogies to explain the discontinuous nature of quantum behaviour. From those analogies,

How the Atomic Model Changes at A-Level

Chemistry Made Simple ·

2021/01/26

The atomic model you have been using so far is nice and basic, and simple to understand and apply. No awkward, inconsistent rules to worry about. But it has limitations. These limitations stop it from being useful beyond the first 20 elements, and for concepts that you are going to be using from this level.In the advanced model you'll discover that atoms are not that 2 dimensional, "solar system" model. You'll learn that electrons exist in orbitals within the shells, and that each shell can
